Officials in key states identify cases of voter fraud

Despite Trump’s intense hunt for voter fraud, officials in key states have so far identified just a small number of possible cases

After an intense hunt by President Trump’s allies to surface voting irregularities in this year’s election, law enforcement agencies in six key swing states targeted by the president have found just a modest number of complaints that have merited investigation, according to cases tracked by state officials.

In Pennsylvania, where Biden won by more than 80,500 votes, three voters have been charged with voting illegally this year — all Republicans.

Police have alleged that Ralph H. Thurman, 71, voted in Chester County on Election Day — then returned to his polling place wearing sunglasses and attempted to cast a second ballot in the name of his son. He faces four charges, including repeat voting, a felony.

In Wilkes-Barre, Robert R. Lynn, 67, has been charged with requesting an absentee ballot in the name of his mother, who died in 2015, and then attempting to vote in her name by forging her signature. He is charged with forgery and interference with an election, both felonies.

Jeff Oster, a lawyer for Thurman, said in an email that he was "a war hero, philanthropist, family man, and one of the most kind-hearted, honest people that anyone could know — a long-standing pillar of the community."

I wonder if these people committing deliberate criminal acts will be given 5 years in prison?

No no, a punishment that severe is reserved for people who make a mistake rather than commit a deliberate criminal act.

Meh. They're Republicans.

trump probably already has the pardons signed and ready to go.

In trump's US, only Democrats are accused/implicated/guilty of crimes. Republicans all get pardons.
